According to diplomatic sources quoted by the Japanese Communications Agency, after the incident, the North has ordered the withdrawal of its ambassador to Mongolia.It is not clear whether the decision is directly related to the translation of the escape, but the outside world generally believes that the DPRK may be pursuing relevant responsibilities.
The identity of the translator and the agency to which he belongs have not yet been disclosed.Because North Korea has strict controls on citizens who leave and are dispatched abroad, the outside world speculates that the person may have a certain social status in the country.
As the head of an academic institution, Tai Che visited Mongolia again after seven years, met with local pro-DPRK groups, discussed issues such as the tension between the ROK and the DPRK and the prospect of reunification, and sought political support.
At the 80th anniversary of the founding of the Labour Party, Pyongyang is actively consolidating relations with friendly countries, while further strengthening domestic social control.
